I apologize for all the empty space, I do that when I have no strong feelings about any of the options.

Shockingly, yes, I did grow up with gens 1 & 2.

I also try to have a variety of mons
ex: I prefer Ferrothorn over Maractus, but I put Maractus in Gen 5 Grass and Ferrothorn in Steel to fit both.

Hey so I gotta rip the band-aid off and tell you guys that Silksong isn't actually real, you're all imagining it, but to pretend it came out you can 'celebrate' by playing a Metroidvania

Definitely not any in particular

My phone just got a UI update and I keep mistaking the YTMusic icon for weather, so I was mildly concerned when I saw this in the corner of my screen for the first time lol

Steam Replay:

Very tall images incoming, you'll need to click to see them.

I went on a Musou kick near the end of the year, but as usual, Monster Hunter stays winning.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a game I'm mixed on. I like the first game more, but I spent way more time on 2 than I expected.

Nintendo Switch - Year in Review:

Common knowledge that Switch releases have slowed down in anticipation for the next system, this was probably the slowest year for the Switch. I expect my numbers will pick up when XCX:DE releases. Or the Switch's successor.

Here's my annual tier list of games I FINISHED.

I typically have a preference for 2D Zelda, but the ones I played this year were a bit rough around the edges.

well that wasn't so bad

So since XCX:DE was announced, how's about I remind you of that time I played Hector Birtwhistle Chronicles and discovered this atrocity:
